After This I Could Be Satisfied With Life

Climb Mt. Everest. That is my ultimate goal for my life at the moment. Anything I do, outdoor wise, seems to focus on this and hopefully accumulate to that perfect moment. I want mountaineering to be a hobby of mine. I don't want to waste my time in cities surrounded by asphalt and metal. I wish to be outside and preferably high up in the sky.

However, I know that I have to prepare for this climactic situation. This summer my goal is to summit as many peaks as possible in order to train myself. 

The highest I have ever been is Mt. Washburn in Yellowstone. 
 Elevation: 10,243 feet

I hope to climb these....

Electric Peak
Elevation: 10,969 feet

Avalanche Peak
Elevation: 10,568 feet

Eagle Peak

Elevation: 11,358 feet

I would love to climb the Grand Teton this summer, but that requires technical training (at least at the top in order to summit), which I do not have yet. Hopefully, in the future I'll acquire that.

And all of this in future preparation for ascending into the clouds for Mt. Everest...
 
Elevation: 29,029 feet
 
But that's for my future and a story worth building up to.

So just a blurb from my mountain high mind, thanks for reading.
